Payara Micro - Small, Simple, Serious

Payara Micro, compatible with Eclipse MicroProfile, is perfect for microservice and cloud environments. It enables you to run war files from the command line without any application server installation. It is small, less than 70MB in size, and incredibly simple to use. With its automatic and elastic clustering, Payara Micro is designed for running Java EE applications in a modern virtualized infrastructure.

We're proud of our community and the relationships we build

I use Payara Server both for education and for some in-house systems.

I also use Payara Micro for various Java EE demonstrations. Payara Server fits any purposes and always meets my expectations. I can certainly recommend Payara Server for Java EE applications.

Then, I found Payara.

I was initially afraid that Payara Server wasn’t going to track GlassFish progress, but since that progress is so few and far between, this fear quickly dissipated.
I started using Payara Server and haven’t looked back. The killer feature has really been Hazelcast integration. This has finally enabled me to achieve zero-downtime deployment and upgrades.

Payara Server allowed us to meet all of our goals.

We achieved a significant cost savings in the process. With Payara Server's ease of installation and great support, what you get is open-source software that anyone thinking of successful deployment and implementation of Java EE in their environment needs to try!
